The actual figure is certainly higher as some dorms simply quarantine the whole bunk once a confirmed case is detected and the rest will go into QO status. Whether these chaps under QO are tested or not is another story, previous report seem to suggest no tests would be done.

That's the reason to keep the figure down.

Hundreds of thousands of rapid test kits imported by the government from the Netherlands were made in China and have low accuracy, a report by the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) has revealed.
